The SU Civil Rights Commemoration Project will kickoff during the 2011 SU Founders' Day with the first in a series of video recording sessions to collect civil rights stories from former students/faculty/administrators and the public. The sessions will be held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.. Thursday, March 10, in the SU Field House.

A volunteer team will capture the oral histories of individuals who were participants in the protest movement emanating from the Southern University campuses during the historic civil rights period of the 1960s and early 1970s.
